About
American child film actress, vaudevillian, author, and silent film historian also known by the moniker, "Baby Peggy". She was recognized as the last living person with a substantial career in silent films. Between 1921-1924 she made over 150 short films. She was dubbed "The Million Dollar Baby" for her whopping salary, sadly mismanaged by her parents. When acting fizzled out, she forged a second career as an author and silent film historian. In her later years, she was a vocal advocate for child actors' rights. 
Family
She was the second daughter of Marian and Jack Montgomery. Jack was a former cowboy and park ranger who had done work as a stuntman and stand-in for actor Tom Mix. Her older sister was named Jack-Louise but generally went by Louise or occasionally Jackie.
